Listen now (117 mins) | we welcome esteemed friend of the pod and M&M’s official Canadian Correspondent Kristel Jax to the show to discuss - in broad terms - concepts, movements, and nascent legal structures encompassing the ‘right to die,’ Medical Assistance In Dying, and (Physician) Assisted Suicide in Canada and the United States. how are today’s moral values embedded in the ways in which we talk (or don’t) about death, let alone the idea of death itself? how do cultural production and the ‘Spectacle-ization’ of medicine shape modern mythologies about end-of-life care? how might economic coercion alter our potentials in life in the most general sense possible? well, it may result in Capital’s most monstrous decoding yet: the commoditization of death.
